It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.
Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.
One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:
+ git -c protocol.version=0 -C pc1 fetch --filter=blob:limit=29999 --refetch origin

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.
The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.
Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

The `reftable_table` interface provides a generic infrastructure that
can abstract away whether the underlying table is a single table, or a
merged table. This abstraction can make it rather hard to reason about
the code. We didn't ever use it to implement the reftable backend, and
with the preceding patches in this patch series we in fact don't use it
at all anymore. Furthermore, it became somewhat useless with the recent
refactorings that made it possible to seek reftable iterators multiple
times, as these now provide generic access to tables for us. The
interface is thus redundant and only brings unnecessary complexity with
it.

The printing functionality part of `reftable/dump.c` is really only used
by our "dump-reftable" test helper. It is certainly not generic logic
that is useful to anybody outside of Git, and the format it generates is
quite specific. Still, parts of it are used in our test suite and the
output may be useful to take a peek into reftable stacks, tables and
blocks. So while it does not make sense to expose this as part of the
reftable library, it does make sense to keep it around.
Inline the `reftable_dump_main()` function into the "dump-reftable" test

The merged table provides access to a reftable stack by merging the
contents of those tables into a virtual table. These subtables are being
tracked via `struct reftable_table`, which is a generic interface for
accessing either a single reftable or a merged reftable. So in theory,
it would be possible for the merged table to merge together other merged
tables.
This is somewhat nonsensical though: we only ever set up a merged table
over normal reftables, and there is no reason to do otherwise. This
generic interface thus makes the code way harder to follow and reason
about than really necessary. The abstraction layer may also have an
impact on performance, even though the extra set of vtable function
calls probably doesn't really matter.
Refactor the merged tables to use a `struct reftable_reader` for each of
the subtables instead, which gives us direct access to the underlying
tables. Adjust names accordingly.

When compacting tables, it may happen that we want to compact a set of
tables which are already locked by a concurrent process that compacts
them. In the case where we wanted to perform a full compaction of all
tables it is sensible to bail out in this case, as we cannot fulfill the
requested action.
But when performing auto-compaction it isn't necessarily in our best
interest of us to abort the whole operation. For example, due to the
geometric compacting schema that we use, it may be that process A takes
a lot of time to compact the bulk of all tables whereas process B
appends a bunch of new tables to the stack. B would in this case also
notice that it has to compact the tables that process A is compacting
already and thus also try to compact the same range, probably including
the new tables it has appended. But because those tables are locked
already, it will fail and thus abort the complete auto-compaction. The
consequence is that the stack will grow longer and longer while A isn't
yet done with compaction, which will lead to a growing performance
impact.
Instead of aborting auto-compaction altogether, let's gracefully handle
this situation by instead compacting tables which aren't locked. To do
so, instead of locking from the beginning of the slice-to-be-compacted,
we start locking tables from the end of the slice. Once we hit the first
table that is locked already, we abort. If we succeeded to lock two or
more tables, then we simply reduce the slice of tables that we're about
to compact to those which we managed to lock.
This ensures that we can at least make some progress for compaction in
said scenario. It also helps in other scenarios, like for example when a
process died and left a stale lockfile behind. In such a case we can at
least ensure some compaction on a best-effort basis.

Some of the tests in t98xx modify the Perforce depot in ways that the

in certain edge cases that we have observed in the wild, but which

Naturally, modifying the depot on disk directly is quite intimate with
the tool and thus prone to breakage when Perforce updates the way that
data is stored. And indeed, those tests are broken nowadays with r23 of
Perforce. While a file revision was previously stored as a plain file
"depot/file,v", it is now stored in a directory "depot/file,d" with
compression.

When a0a630192d (t/check-non-portable-shell: detect "FOO=bar
shell_func", 2018-07-13) added the check for one-shot environment
variable assignment for shell functions, the primary reason given for
avoiding them was that, under some shells, the assignment outlives the
invocation of the shell function, thus could potentially negatively
impact subsequent commands in the same test, as well as subsequent
tests.
However, it has recently become apparent that this is not the only
potential problem with one-shot assignments and shell functions. Another
problem is that some shells do not actually export the variable to
commands which the function invokes[1]. More significantly, however, the
behavior of one-shot assignments with shell functions is not specified
by POSIX[2].
Given this new understanding, the presented error message ("assignment
extends beyond 'shell_func'") is too specific and potentially
misleading. Address this by emitting a less specific error message.
(Note that the wording "is not portable" is chosen over the more
specific "behavior not specified by POSIX" for consistency with almost
all other error message issued by this "lint" script.)

is that, with some shells, the assignment will outlive the invocation of

Therefore, we need to ignore a possible SIGPIPE signal. Add a test for

For the SIGPIPE test, we need to make sure that we completely fill the

midx-write: revert use of --stdin-packs
t5319: add failing test case for repack/expire
When "add -p" parses diffs, it looks for context lines starting with a
single space. But when diff.suppressBlankEmpty is in effect, an empty
context line will omit the space, giving us a true empty line. This
confuses the parser, which is unable to split based on such a line.
It's tempting to say that we should just make sure that we generate a
diff without that option. However, although we do not parse hunks that
the user has manually edited with parse_diff() we do allow the user
to split such hunks. As POSIX calls the decision of whether to print the
space here "implementation-defined" we need to handle edited hunks where
empty context lines omit the space.
So let's handle both cases: a context line either starts with a space or
consists of a totally empty line by normalizing the first character to a
space when we parse them. Normalizing the first character rather than
changing the code to check for a space or newline will hopefully future
proof against introducing similar bugs if the code is changed.

The fundamental issue with the reverted change is that the focus on

selects a single pack-file for an object ID with multiple copies among
the tracked pack-files.
The change was made with the intention of improving delta compression in
the resulting pack-file, but that can be resolved with the existing

Git 2.45.0 included the change b7d6f23a17 (midx-write.c: use
`--stdin-packs` when repacking, 2024-04-01) which caused the 'git
multi-pack-index repack' command to use 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs'
instead of listing the objects to repack. While this change was
motivated by efficient cross-process communication and the ability to
improve delta compression, it breaks a fundamental function of the
'incremental-repack' task that is enabled by default in Scalar clones or
Git repositories that run 'git maintenance start'.
The 'incremental-repack' task performs a two-step process of the
'expire' and 'repack' subcommands of the 'git multi-pack-index' builtin.
The 'expire' command removes any pack-files listed in the
multi-pack-index but without any referenced objects. The 'repack' task
then finds a batch of pack-files to repack and sends their objects to
'git pack-objects'. Both the pack-files chosen for the batch and the
objects chosen to repack are based on the ones that the multi-pack-index
references. Objects that appear in a pack-file but have a duplicate copy
in a newer pack-file are not considered in this case. Since the
multi-pack-index references only the newest copy of an object, this
allows the next 'incremental-repack' task to remove the pack-files in
the next 'expire' task. This delay is intentional due to how Windows
handles may block deletion of files with open read handles.
However, the mentioned commit changed this behavior to divorce the set
of objects referenced by the multi-pack-index and instead use a set of
"included" and "excluded" pack-files in the 'git pack-objects' builtin.
When a pack-file is selected as "included", only the objects it contains
but are not in any "excluded" pack-files are considered for repacking.
This has led to client repositories failing to remove old pack-files as
they still have some referenced objects. This grows over time until the
point that Git is trying to repack the same pack-files over and over.
For now, create a test case that demonstrates the expected behavior, but
also fails in its final line. The setup here it attempting to recreate a
typical situation for a repository that uses a blobless partial clone.
There would be a large initial pack-file from the clone that is never
selected in the 'repack' batch. There are other pack-files that have a
combination of new objects from incremental fetches and possibly blobs
that are not connected to those incremental fetches; these blobs could
be filled in from commands like 'git checkout' or 'git blame'. The
pack-files also have some overlap on purpose so test-1 has some
duplicates in test-2 and test-2 has some duplicates in test-3.
At the end of the test, the test-2 pack-file still exists though it
should have been expired. This test will pass when reverting the
offending commit.

"git var GIT_SHELL_PATH" should report the path to the shell used
to spawn external commands, but it didn't do so on Windows, which
has been corrected.
* js/var-git-shell-path:
var(win32): do report the GIT_SHELL_PATH that is actually used
run-command: declare the `git_shell_path()` function globally
run-command(win32): resolve the path to the Unix shell early
mingw(is_msys2_sh): handle forward slashes in the `sh.exe` path, too
win32: override `fspathcmp()` with a directory separator-aware version
strvec: declare the `strvec_push_nodup()` function globally
run-command: refactor getting the Unix shell path into its own function
"git push '' HEAD:there" used to hit a BUG(); it has been corrected
to die with "fatal: bad repository ''".

The test framework learned to take the test body not as a single
string but as a here-document.
* jk/test-body-in-here-doc:
t/.gitattributes: ignore whitespace in chainlint expect files
t: convert some here-doc test bodies
test-lib: allow test snippets as here-docs
chainlint.pl: add tests for test body in heredoc
chainlint.pl: recognize test bodies defined via heredoc
chainlint.pl: check line numbers in expected output
chainlint.pl: force CRLF conversion when opening input files
chainlint.pl: do not spawn more threads than we have scripts
chainlint.pl: only start threads if jobs > 1
chainlint.pl: add test_expect_success call to test snippets
Tests that use GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG feature got their exit
status inverted, which has been corrected.
* rj/test-sanitize-leak-log-fix:
test-lib: GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG enabled by default
test-lib: fix GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG
Commit 852a171018 (am: let command-line options override saved options,
2015-08-04) redirected a few "git am" invocations from /dev/zero, even
though it did not expect "am" to read the input. This was necessary at
the time because those tests used test_terminal, and as described in
18d8c26930 (test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty,
2015-08-04):
Note that due to the way the code is structured, the child's stdin
pseudo-tty will be closed when we finish reading from our stdin. This
means that in the common case, where our stdin is attached to /dev/null,
the child's stdin pseudo-tty will be closed immediately. Some operations
like isatty(), which git-am uses, require the file descriptor to be
open, and hence if the success of the command depends on such functions,
test_terminal's stdin should be redirected to a source with large amount
of data to ensure that the child's stdin is not closed, e.g.
test_terminal git am --3way </dev/zero
But we later dropped the use of test_terminal in 53ce2e3f0a (am: add
explicit "--retry" option, 2024-06-06). That commit dropped one of the
redirections from /dev/zero but not the other.
In theory the remaining one should not cause any problems, but it turns
out that at least one platform (NonStop) does not have /dev/zero at all.
We never noticed before because it also did not pass the TTY prereq,
meaning these tests were not run at all there until 53ce2e3f0a.
So let's drop the useless /dev/zero mention. There are others in the
test suite, but they are run only for tests marked with EXPENSIVE (so
not typically by default).
